 Introduction to Fieldbus Moore Industries's useful Introduction to Fieldbus says "Fieldbus is simple. So simple, you'll wonder what all the
fuss is all about. In this article, we'll stick to the two

and FOUNDATION fieldbus™ H1. We'll cover how
fieldbus works, show how to connect instruments, and
explain why - in most cases - you can't connect all 32
instruments on a single fieldbus segment as all the
advertising claims."
